If your lead-off batter, presumably fast like Phoenix or Fox, reaches first, and the first throw by the pitcher is a pick-off attempt, do you automatically send your runner on the next pitch?
I've just stuck with Murray, currently heating Level 12, but I would like your experience and opinions with other catchers. I bat him 8th, so he doesn't get a lot of PA, but he's contributed a few homers. His arm is so-so. Should I stay with him or do you recommend leveling up someone else? My pitcher is Michelle level 13.
This would be awesome for some of the great bat/bad glove (or just fat & slow) players. My choice would be Dave, whose bat has produced many a home run, but is an absolute detriment in the field. He's too slow to charge a fly, and his throw is so weak it always goes to the cut-off. Another good choice would be slow Kevin (my clean-up batter, since batting 4th gets him 6 more power points).
If you could permanently level up any one player to level 14, who would it be?
I had a new Clash glitch (clitch?). I know we discussed the other day some of the glitches that have popped up, like the first baseman just holding the ball on a pick-off. Today was a new one for me: top of the 10th, bases loaded, no outs. Routine ground ball to my 2nd baseman Tom. Tom throws home, without a question beating the runner in what should have been a force-out at the plate. However, the game called the runner safe and chalked up a run. Here's the weird part - the runner at third disappeared and the scoreboard said one out. At no time was 3rd base involved in the play, nor was the runner from second. The entire play was pitch to batter, grounder to second, throw to home for the force. Anyone else experience this or similar?
I'm saving up shards and slowly - very slowly - heading toward 50k. Who would you choose to upgrade among my three Level 13s? My three are my 3rd baseman Alexandra, my RF Phoenix, and my pitcher Michelle. I'm leaning toward Alexandra because she still bobbles some lasers to 3rd and this would perk up her fielding a bit. However, my great contact/running/fielding Phoenix lacks one thing: power. This would up her power to 169 from 162. Michelle would get the most help from improving her velocity. Your opinion?
